I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Oh trust me, had he been "flying" at me I would have needed clean trousers. But Michelle was very kind and pretty much put him right in front of me. Much less terrifying!

Kendell, the sleeve was put away right afterwards so no, uh, GIFTS could be left.

And Malli, it is SUPER fun! Tiring though - I don't know how professional decoys do it for so long. I was huffing and puffing after 10 minutes. Riggs seems to gain about 40 extra pounds when he's hanging off your arm.

Megan, Michelle hasn't been on to see this yet I don't think, but I thought Riggs did GREAT with his out! Michelle would tell me to stop moving and not make eye contact with him (pretty much just make it super-boring) and Riggs would think about it for a minute and then as soon as he outed I yanked my arm up so he could go right back in for another bite. We did this several times and I think he did really well.

Katrina, I caught Connor my very first visit to NY (I think the pics are on here somewhere....) so it only seemed fair that I catch Riggs, too. Riggs is a lot harder to catch than Connor though. I'm tellin' ya, I was BEAT!

What made it harder? Just interested in your perspective (I always like to hear what makes a dog harder to catch and what not)...

Honestly, I don't know. Maybe it was psychological because he seems more intense on the bite than Connor. Don't get me wrong though - if Connor came after me for real I'd be pee-ing myself. Nearly did the first time Demo sent him to me for the bite! And this is silly, but Riggs just felt heavier on the sleeve than Connor did. I really had to heave to swing him around. I wish I could put into words what made it harder, but I really can't pinpoint it.
